Student Research Grant
The Green Fund Student Research Grant is a semesterly funding opportunity available each Fall and Spring for full-time NAU undergraduate and graduate students. Proposals will be reviewed on a rolling basis, with a priority deadline and soft close during Week 12 of the semester. Funding is allocated at the start of each semester, and the available pool will decrease as grants are awarded, so early submission is strongly encouraged. We look forward to supporting innovative student research through this grant program.
